Pets are our pride and joy – they provide comfort and companionship (and they just look cute in general). And naturally we are rooting for their happy ending; whether it’s a successful adoption or a daring rescue, as long as the pets come out on top, we tend to celebrate.
And it’s even more amazing when we’re faced with the aforementioned aspects, but the story also has an inspiring twist. That’s exactly the case with one of the doggies that will be coming to living in the White House. The brilliantly named Major Biden has a colorful life, and his success was celebrated by the rescue that took care of him before the Bidens.

This story of a historical first is one we can all get behind. It is a nice palate cleanser from the day’s usual news stories. Major Biden, the Biden’s shelter dog, was honored with a virtual indoguration. The Delaware Humane Association (DHA) and Pumpkin Pet Insurance hosted the event along with Jill Martin of NBC’s
Today. The shelter called it the “largest virtual party for dogs.”
You may remember Major from recent headlines – he is the dog that broke Joe Biden’s foot. For whatever creepy reason, Biden was chasing Major, a German Shepherd, after exiting the shower at his Delaware home. The vision of a naked Biden running through his home after his dog and pulling his tail is one that no one needs. Who can blame the dog for tripping the old man?

Several days before Joe Biden is set to be sworn in as the 46th President of the United States at his inauguration, his dog, Major, was honoured at a virtual “Indoguration Ceremony” on Sunday (Jan 17).
Joe Biden’s dog Major has been honoured in an “indoguration” ahead of the politician’s own inauguration as US president to raise money for an animal shelter.
The virtual charity event was held by Pumpkin Pet Insurance and the Delaware Humane Association (DHA) – the shelter the Bidens adopted Major from in 2018.
Major is one of two German Shepherds owned by the Bidens, with Champ joining the family in 2008 while Mr Biden was vice-president.
While Lady Gaga and Jennifer Lopez are set to play at Mr Biden’s inauguration on Wednesday, Josh Groban appeared for Major via video call.
The pop singer performed Patti Page’s 1952 hit (How Much Is) That Doggie In The Window? – amending the lyrics to “I’m adopting that doggie in the window”.
